How EasyRoute is always useful to me
I feel compelled to write about this because I take great satisfaction in the fact that I actually use EasyRoute quite regularly almost a year after releasing the first version. In fact, because of all the snow we’ve gotten here in New York, I’ve had to use it quite a bit recently. You’d think I’d […]
A Pneumonia Anniversary
One year ago today, I was diagnosed with pneumonia. Why mark this anniversary? It ended my first bid to run a marathon pretty early into the training program. After spending many years as a runner with little interest in marathoning, I had somehow come around was very excited about finishing a 26.2-mile race. I was […]

EasyRoute 1.7 Released
Yesterday, EasyRoute 1.7 was released on the Apple iOS App Store. First, I went back and changed the way the elevation button behaves. When the elevation view was first under development, I was trying to come up with a good graphic for the button that would indicate what it was for. I made a simple […]

EasyRoute 1.6 is Available
First, thanks to Apple for getting the release out so fast — I just submitted it last night and here it is already! I’ve heard that review times can get as high as three weeks right around a major iOS release, so I’m guessing they’re doing everything they can to keep the queue short with […]

EasyRoute 1.5 Released
So, I’m a little late with this announcement because I didn’t realize Apple had approved 1.5. I submitted it 8 days ago and haven’t heard anything since then. The Apple developer website was taken down after a security scare, so maybe that had something to do with it. Anyway, I want to discuss the changes in […]

EasyRoute 1.4 Released
I’m really happy to announce that EasyRoute 1.4 has hit the App Store! I’m particularly excited about this release because I feel it is one of the most solid EasyRoute releases so far. I added one major new feature, but made lots of little fixes and enhancements that I think just make the overall experience […]
Rolling right along: EasyRoute 1.3 Released!
There is only one new feature, but it is a personal favorite of mine: Street View! Tap-and-hold on a road to bring up Street View. It’s that simple. This is something I’ve been looking forward to doing. Before EasyRoute, using web-based route planners, I have had to keep a regular Google Map page open also […]
EasyRoute 1.2 Released!
Quick mention: it’s a good thing I wasn’t going anyway, because WWDC sold out in two or three minutes depending on your source. I had someone inform me at 1:03 EDT, so it definitely was not more than three minutes. Onto the bigger story of the day (well, at least on this site). EasyRoute 1.2 […]
Thoughts on WWDC 2013
Nope, I’m not going. I’d like to, but for a variety of reasons, I can’t. I just wanted to point out a few things I think Apple did correctly this year. First, pre-announcing the event is the right way to go. Granted, it’s only a day in advance, but it shows they heard the cries […]

Race Report: Greg Fried 5k in Roslyn
Today, I ran the 2nd Annual Greg Fried Memorial 5k in Roslyn. The tragedy in Boston made it somewhat somber for me, but I did my best to absorb being back and running through my historic and beautiful childhood hometown. Like last year, it was nice to meet some friendly runners before and after the […]
